Sterility, Singapore, Christmas and Convention
The relationship between Yoruki and Miles is one of the entangled
relationships which will take a while to be resolved. Hate him or Love
him, Miles is a complex character; so don't be too quick to judge him. A
new character will appear in two weeks time (if you don't know yet, it's
New Year's Day), so PLEASE look out for the new updates coming your way
in 2005.
In case any of you were wondering why was this week's update late again,
I must say that I had been through quite a lot for the past one week or
so. For a start, I left Chapel Hill, NC and returned to Singapore. I had
always thought that by going to NC, I would learn to miss Singapore even
more.... but somehow, it worked the other way round for me. I had began
to develop a distaste for the sterility of Singapore. Singapore, is my
home, but I can't help but to feel there's something so empty about it.
Not to mention that the weather practically killed me...
I celebrated Christmas with my long time friends, w'Note and Zen. Since
2000, it is almost customary that we celebrate Christmas together. It
was a cool celebration, at least for me as I spent the entire night
telling them all about USA, Washington DC and Manhattan, New York. I had
also told them my plans to visit Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan next year for
my friends are there. If all goes well, Alwyn would be planning the
Itinerary - but of course it is too early now for details of the trip to
Japan.
The day after Christmas, all three of us actually got ourselves involved
in the year's Anime, Doujin and Cosplay convention. I must admit that
this is my first
time attending a Singaporean convention. I was never a great Cosplay
fan, but I do enjoy seeing people cosplay, and I marvel at the
tremendous amount of effort spent on making their costumes. Marvel is of
course mixed with envy and respect. However, I was there more to support
the Doujin artists. Ever since I read "Comic Party" the manga, my view
of Doujin artists changed completely....
Another reason is
that I plan to participate in next year's convention, with SKOOKUM! as
the main featured work. I am currently in the planning stage with
w'Note, who had been an great help in the administrative side of SKOOKUM!
I give me my heartfelt thanks and look forward into participating next
year's convention with him.
